I would check the wires and make sure they are very tightly connected. Sounds to me like you may have a baggy wire. Be sure to check the wire nuts AND the clip that goes into the back of the alarm. Then depending on how ancient the smoke alarm is, I would replace it as soon as I may possibly. If it were me I would buy one that has battery back up. Excellent luck…
Does the AC unit have a flow of air directed at a sensor? This may cause a insightful alarm sensor to go into an alarm disorder. Call the service company to have it checked. It may have a battery back up that is weak.
I can’t reckon of any reason that the AC should have a part to play but hardwired units have a battery back up. It is a 9V battery and should be replaced once a year. The beeping is intermittent and is designed to let you know the battery needs to be replaced.
I would check for a voltage drop to the fire alarm when the A/C comes on. Your house may need a larger amp service.
Most fire alarms work because smoke particles break a beam and set the alarm off. There are other particles that will set them off as well. Fire alarms are notorious for going off during construction projects especially during sanding. drywall and spray painting.
It sounds like dust or other matter is being blown into the sensor and causing it to go off. Look for dust bunnies and spider webs. A excellent cleaning of the area around the alarm and a slight repositoning of it will probably right the conundrum.
